Successful data lake implementations can serve a corporation well for years. Accenture, an APN Premier Consulting Partner, recently had an engagement with a Fortune 500 company that wanted to optimize its AWS data lake implementation. As part of the engagement, Accenture moved the customer to better-suited services and developed metrics to closely monitor the health of its overall environment in the cloud.

Data and analytics success relies on providing analysts and data end users with quick, easy access to accurate, quality data. Enterprises need a high performing and cost-efficient data architecture that supports demand for data access, while providing the data governance and management capabilities required by IT. Data management excellence, which is best achieved via a data lake on AWS, captures and makes quality data available to analysts in a fast and cost-effective way.

With the proliferation of cost-effective storage options such as Amazon S3, there should be no reason you can’t keep your data forever, except that with this much data it can be difficult to create value in a timely and efficient way. MongoDB’s Atlas Data Lake enables developers to mine their data for insights with more storage options and the speed and agility of the AWS Cloud. It provides a serverless parallelized compute platform that gives you a powerful and flexible way to analyze and explore your data on Amazon S3.

Data management architectures have evolved drastically from the traditional data warehousing model, to today’s more flexible systems that use pay-as-you-go cloud computing models for big data workloads. Learn how AWS services like Amazon EMR can be used with Bryte Systems to deploy an Amazon S3 data lake in one day. We’ll also detail how AWS and the BryteFlow solution can automate modern data architecture to significantly accelerate delivery and business insights at scale.

A data integration architecture that can virtually connect multiple data platforms provides business users with immediate access to data, with far less IT friction than traditional methods, so you can make faster, more data-driven decisions. The Denodo Platform for AWS can aid organizations in managing their data by providing an alternative data integration method. With Denodo, data is presented in real-time and without the need to replicate data to a new consolidated repository.

Mainframe proprietary storage solutions such as VTLs hold valuable data locked in a platform with complex tools. This can lead to higher compute and storage costs, and make it harder to retain existing employees or train new ones. When mainframe data is stored in a cloud storage service, however, it can be accessed by a rich ecosystem of applications and analytics tools. BMC AMI Cloud Analytics enables mainframe customers to backup and archive directly to AWS.

Amazon Redshift is a powerful yet affordable data warehouse, and while getting data out of Redshift is easy, getting data into and around Redshift can pose problems as the warehouse grows. Datacoral is a serverless data platform that manages metadata changes, data transformations, and orchestrating pipelines for data consumers. In this post, learn how to write Redshift SQL to represent data flow, and how serverless data pipelines get automatically generated for that data flow.

Building a true Customer 360 requires gaining a comprehensive view of customer behavior and preferences by aggregating data from all of these sources, and more. With a single source of truth, a true Customer 360 delivers complete a real-time customer view to all parts of the organization—sales, marketing, service, support, etc. This consistent and contextual insight can help enterprises delight customers with personalized experience and timely offers through each touch point in the customer journey.

Have you ever noticed that when businesses talk about data, they often use metaphors having to do with water? In the same way plumbing makes modern life possible, a well-maintained data infrastructure is a crucial foundation on which the health of a business depends. Examine how replacing an inflexible, legacy data system with a cloud data warehousing solution can open the “floodgates” to new opportunities and modernize the approach to data management.

For AWS Marketplace Sellers, your sales operations, finance, and marketing teams all need to carefully consider how sales originating from AWS Marketplace might affect existing processes. AWS Marketplace Commerce Analytics Service allows you to programmatically access sales data from AWS Marketplace. This post describes how Tackle.io developed an innovative solution using the AWS Fargate compute engine to make Commerce Analytics Service data more accessible for business owners.
